Wyatt, along with Surrey, was the first to introduce the sonnet into English, with its characteristic
final rhyming couplet. He wrote extraordinarily accomplished imitations of Petrarch's sonnets, including
'I find no peace' ('Pace non trovo') and 'Whoso List to Hunt'—the latter, quite different in tone from
Petrarch's 'Una candida cerva', has often been seen to refer to Anne Boleyn as the deer with a jewelled collar.
Wyatt was also adept at other new forms in English, such as the terza rima and the rondaeu. Wyatt and Surrey
often share the title "father of the English sonnet."
